Medical education like medical science is constantly evolving. Traditional courses often start by focusing on the basic sciences such as physiology, cell biology, biochemistry and anatomy, studying each in isolation. However, medical school teaching is moving to a more systems based approach, often based around the clinical specialties. From the first year of study, students may learn about the basic science, pathology, diagnosis and treatments related to a particular specialty whilst also seeing patients in the clinical setting. Old style textbooks, which focus on a particular medical science, are therefore not always ideal for this structure for learning. Similarly post-graduate medical examinations, such as those for Membership of the Royal College of Physicians (MRCP) in the UK, require a detailed knowledge of core medical science, and yet examine it in a way that focuses on its relevance to clinical practice. This concise text provides an up-to-date and easily readable explanation of the relevant basic science behind each of the medical specialties. The text is often presented in bullet point format with simple concise explanations. It makes extensive use of tables, lists and diagrams with each chapter also containing multiple-choice questions aimed at consolidating the material covered and highlighting topics that are frequently examined. No book of this length covering such a wide area can be completely comprehensive. For the busy Junior Doctor or medical student, we hope it will provide a coherent starting point for improving their understanding of medical science before turning to other texts which focus more on pathology, diagnosis and management.Less

This resource is a thoroughly revised edition of a popular collection of 50 anatomical cases. Each chapter starts with a clinical case presentation, followed by diagnosis and therapy and then an extensive discussion of the anatomy that is relevant to the case. The patient presentations provide the history and physical examination findings in a format consistent with that which the student will utilize in clinical training. Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that are discussed have been brought up-to-date and are consistent with current medical practice.Less

This manual on the practice of laboratory genetic counseling will have instructive value for veteran laboratory genetic counselors, genetic counselors new to the field, students in genetic counseling training programs, and laboratories employing genetic counselors. Authors include laboratorians, geneticists, and genetic counselors from over 30 institutions. The content is structured on the areas of expertise needed by laboratory genetic counselors and includes details about result interpretation and common complexities specific to the various types of genetic testing labs, including biochemical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, and prenatal screening. The text provides details on orientation to the laboratory, laboratory education for genetic counseling students, test utilization, test development, the role of genetic counselors in sales, professional growth opportunities such as contributions to literature and general knowledge, counseling skills, and ethical dilemmas.Less

Skeletal Development of the Hand and Wrist is an attempt to modernize the method established in Radiographic Atlas of Skeletal Development of the Hand and Wrist, by Drs. Greulich and Pyle (last published in print in 1959 as a second edition) for pediatric bone age interpretation for contemporary practice. This resource features exceptionally high-quality skeletal radiographic images of both male and female reference standards, and is intended for practicing and training radiologists, as well as those who employ bone age studies as part of their practice.Less
